Bloomfield is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is located three miles from the downtown area. Bloomfield is sometimes referred to as Pittsburgh's Little Italy because it was settled by Italians from the Abruzzi region and has been a center of Italian-American population. Pittsburgh architectural historian, Franklin Toker, has said that Bloomfield "is a feast, as rich to the eyes as the homemade tortellini and cannoli in its shop windows are to the stomach."[2] Today neighborhood residents include working-class Italian-Americans, various other European-descended populations, African Americans, and a substantial population of college students. It has attracted young adults as a "hip" neighborhood.[3]

Liberty Avenue is the neighborhood's main business thoroughfare. Every year Bloomfield hosts Little Italy Days , a large festival celebrating the neighborhood's rich Italian history... Wikipedia
